EARLY FRENCH 



ROHAN HYACINTHS 



A charming class of Hyacinths from the south of France 



(quite distinct from the Dutch Hyacinths^, producing graceful* 



delicately perfumed spikes of flowers. They force readily in the 



house. Three bulbs can be put in a 4-inch, or six bulbs in a 



6-inch pan or pot, and as each bulb produces several spikes, it 



makes a beautiful plant for conservatory or house decoration. 



Their treatment is identical with the Dutch Hyacinth (see page 



3) except that we do not recommend them for outdoor planting. 



Early White. Pure -white: one of the most valuable plants 



for cut flowers. Millions of these are annually forced in the 



United States. If potted at intervals, from September to 



November, can be had in flower from November till April.
